Data Extraction from Hand-filled Form using Form Template

Database is very vital for taking the day to day decision and in the long run it helps in formulation of policies, strategies of an organization. Numerous efforts, time and money are spent to get, store and process the data. To get the data from a user, an interface is designed which is known as form. The forms may vary from paper based to online. Manually processing paper based form is prone to errors. Therefore, it will be useful to deploy automated systems for reading data from paper based forms and storing it in the database. Further, this data can be modified, processed and analyzed. In this paper, we have proposed a method to extract data from hand-filled pre-designed form based on form templates. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15084
